We had such a wonderful relaxing time. The whole family are lovely. We were treated with care and little things like sending us links to the local restaurants and taverns and ice cream for the kids made our stay even more special.l- even offering their car for a short journey to the supermarket! The views are beautiful and definitely use the hotels transport offer if it is available it was comfortable and good value. Would definitely return. Quiet time 3-5pm but the family clean the pool and we loved a late swim. Thank you.
Nothing. It’s traditional and Vagia is a quieter area of Aegina so either stay a few days or get a car to explore the island and stay a little longer.

From the moment we arrived, we felt very looked after.....Angelica and her husband were just brilliant with a very special mention to Dora, who was next in command! Thank you all for making us feel like part of your family. There is a fab beach and family run Dimello Restaurant 150m walk from the apartment....great food and service! The family run Panorama Restaurant should not be missed either, 150m walk. We took the bus to Aegina Town, which was an amazing trip too....WOW, just WOW. We want to be back there now.....thank you for all that you did for us Team AngelicaXXX Oh...and the view from our balcony... Oh...and the sunrises 🌅 I could go on and on.....
Having to leave....

This place is one of the most beautiful and authentic Greek places I have ever stayed (and this is my 20th time on a Greek island). Even before booking the owners were fantastic in helping out with any queries and they greeted us with ice cream and gave us all water when we left. The place is very close to a beach that was almost deserted in the middle of July and the tourists there are mainly Greek. The apartment (stayed in the biggest of them) has great views over the ocean and even after 12 nights there I didn’t want to leave. The other woman helping out was very nice too, always friendly and welcoming to my children, they loved her. We loved that the pool was deserted most days, it is not many places that have that in the middle of school break. Also loved the fact that the property has bicycles you can use for free to eg go to the local supermarket (10 minutes by bike). Around a ten minutes walk from the hotel is a great hike into the mountains as well. We will definitely be coming back.
The only downside if I have to mention any was that the pool was closed from 2-5 pm due to siesta (and as I’m Scandinavian and don’t see the sun often all time that can be spent in the sun is a luxury), but after a day my children accustomed it to this and we enjoyed the quietness that followed with siesta. Also, the pool can be a little small once all rooms are occupied, but that didn’t happen often so not a problem for us.

Staff was super nice and willing to help and answer all our questions. They gave us complimentary drinks and ice-cream when we arrived. They also let us stay beyond checkout hours for our convenience. The breakfast they have is also very good!
The area is a bit isolated and hotel service ends early, so if you're hungry/thirsty after 9pm, you have to go to a local taverna. Late delivery is also only available from a couple tavernas only. Make sure to have stocked up on snacks!

Our stay at Blue Dolphin was brilliant. The pool is lovely and we could always get a couple of sun beds. The staff are so friendly and helpful, they literally could not do more for us and it was lovely. Very good breakfast. Very close to the beach and an excellent beach bar.
It’s obviously not the properties fault but it is worth noting there is not a shop in walking distance. You need a car to get to a shop and / or to get into town. Not a problem, you can get cabs but it’s worth knowing.

The Blue Dolphin is a hidden gem. It is further from the main port but if you want a calm stay, in a lovely hotel with exceptionally kind hosts, Blue Dolphin is the choice. It’s a quick walk from a local beach that has two great fish restaurants on the beach. The morning breakfast served on the patio was fresh and the perfect way to start our morning on this beautiful island. We were so lucky to have stayed hete, it was one of the best parts of our trip.

I couldn't recommend this property enough, if there were more stars I would surely give them. The hosts are amazing. As soon as we arrived at Souvala port we were stranded there as the taxi booked didn't show up. Without any hesitation they came to pick up themselves. It was an amazing stay. Bus stop nearby, beaches near too. The place is really lovely, it has the quiet policy for 2pm-4pm so it's ideal for families with young kids. Always spotless and if ever going back to Aegina I know where I will book again.

The best of the place, is the lovely family: father and mother and four daughters, who run the place in a very nice and friendly manner. They solve everything you want, always with a smile.
Can't tell, as there were no issues. The only thing that could be improved is the breakfast: a bit of veggies and stronger coffee would make it perfect, but it's not a big deal.

We were very warmly welcomed by the daughter of the owners, and then the owners. They gave us a welcome ice cream and cold water, which was very kind during the day witzh temperatures of 35 degrees celsius. During our stay they were very polite, helpful and truely kind
Can't think of anything, perhaps the fact, that we only booked 4 nights. We would have loved to stay longer! In terms of facilities and shops: you need to walk 1.5 kilometers to the next supermarket, but otherwise, we liked the tranquility
